at_o it_o but_o if_o ever_o i_o have_v a_o son_n to_o bring_v up_o i_o be_o resolve_v it_o shall_v not_o be_v so_o with_o he_o sophr._n thus_o where_o a_o young_a man_n have_v make_v a_o considerable_a progress_n both_o in_o geography_n and_o history_n wherein_o young_a people_n take_v delight_n i_o will_v have_v he_o dispose_v of_o for_o the_o latin_a tongue_n especial_o if_o his_o

though_o by_o rote_n one_o may_v learn_v a_o language_n with_o ease_n yet_o a_o grammar_n be_v of_o great_a use_n to_o to_o confirm_v that_o learning_n by_o that_o one_o learn_v it_o easy_o and_o by_o this_o exact_o phil._n you_o put_v i_o in_o mind_n sophronius_n of_o a_o young_a man_n that_o i_o be_v tell_v of_o tother_o day_n who_o have_v be_v several_a year_n in_o france_n where_o he_o have_v

for_o want_v of_o grammar-help_a and_o therefore_o there_o shall_v be_v for_o our_o college_n a_o compendious_a grammar_n such_o as_o may_v be_v run_v over_o in_o a_o short_a time_n byr_o because_o the_o main_a difficulty_n of_o the_o latin_a tongue_n in_o the_o read_n of_o author_n do_v consist_v in_o the_o construction_n the_o learner_n shall_v be_v use_v frequent_o to_o that_o be_v also_o to_o make_v paraphrase_n by_o this_o mean_n i_o be_o confident_a that_o a_o boy_n shall_v know_v latin_a enough_o at_o a_o year_n end_v to_o learn_v the_o greek_a tongue_n and_o that_o in_o three_o

and_o the_o colleger_n shall_v have_v but_o little_a correspondence_n with_o the_o rest_n of_o the_o world_n sophr._n very_o right_a and_o true_o there_o be_v nothing_o so_o mischievous_a and_o fatal_a to_o young_a gentleman_n as_o the_o want_n of_o that_o coercion_n for_o some_o time_n for_o whilst_o they_o be_v allow_v to_o appear_v in_o public_a with_o a_o splendour_n suitable_a to_o their_o birth_n they_o meet_v with_o that_o respect_n and_o those_o caress_n from_o their_o inferior_n that_o fill_v their_o mind_n present_o with_o pride_n and_o vanity_n their_o eye_n be_v ever_o admire_v of_o fine_a garb_n their_o ear_n bewitch_v with_o the_o charm_a noise_n of_o the_o great_a estate_n and_o honour_n they_o be_v heir_n to_o their_o fancy_n tickle_v with_o the_o flatter_a

pedantic_a learning_n why_o shall_v he_o trouble_v himself_o with_o it_o he_o be_v learned_a enough_o that_o be_v rich_a and_o that_o know_v how_o to_o improve_v sensual_a and_o brutish_a pleasure_n and_o so_o there_o be_v my_o midas_n with_o his_o ass_n ear_n phil._n you_o have_v hit_v the_o nail_n on_o the_o head_n and_o without_o doubt_n it_o be_v the_o best_a way_n to_o keep_v such_o young_a
